does anyone still use these ?
for years i've been reading the arguments for and against chest packs, rucksacks, vests, sling packs, day packs etc etc and it only occurred to me the other day, why don't I use my fishing bag ?
I have a lovely 'old' Hardy fishing bag that I use for Salmon fishing a week a year and then it sits in an attic in the UK for the rest of the year.
When i think it can just take some fly boxes and be slung behind me over one shoulder, or have some sandwiches and a rainjacket, or a bottle of wine for lunch and a book, i'm kicking myself for not thinking of it earlier.
this is the bag :
the inside is waterproof and detachable for cleaning out.
:facepalm:
sometimes the old ways are still the best perhaps ?
cheers
